INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
On its release, Panga had opened low [Rs
2.70 crores] and then showed very good growth on Saturday followed by a good Sunday, hence resulting in an opening weekend of Rs
Now Thappad opened slightly better [Rs
3.07 crores], though Saturday growth was relatively lesser
However, Sunday did turn out to better with Rs
As a result, the opening weekend is now Rs
14.66 crores which is in a range similar to that of Panga, though a bit lesser than that.The film would need to quite stable from here on
though so that it can compete with the lifetime total of Panga [Rs
Though weekend trend suggests that it could possibly manage that, there is huge competition ahead in the form of Baaghi 3
The Tiger Shroff starrer releases on 6th March and that would be threatening for all the films in the running since the Sajid Nadiadwala
production would see the biggest arrival of the year
In fact, its screen count will be bigger than even Ajay Devgn's Tanhaji - The Unsung Warrior.On the other hand, Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan
has its own race going with an unlikely competitor in the form of Malang
The two films have altogether different themes, belong to distinct genres and generally aren't any sort of threat to each other
However, Malang is currently eyeing an end to its run around the 60 crores lifetime
1 crore* more in its opening weekend and has accumulated its score to Rs
On the other hand, Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan brought in Rs
4.06 crores more on Sunday and now stands at Rs
54.23 crores.There is a shortfall of around 4 crores between the two films and it is expected that the Ayushmann Khurranna starrer would
manage to dilute that in days to come.*Estimates
Final numbers awaited');
